Nuke News / Posting

« Last post by Marlin on Today at 12:53 PM »

Hi All,
   I will probably have to cut back on some of the News for a couple of weeks or more. I will post articles from solid sources, but opinion and fringe will be out. I just had surgery to reattach a retina in one eye which amounts to putting a gas bubble in the eye, I can see the bubble slosh around as it dissolves, very annoying making reading for comprehension difficult. This would be a good time to get your feet wet posting local or opinion pieces, check out the guidelines in my "Posting" post pinned above.

the article bloggers come up the same "no clue what to do" result as the politicians...
lots of people have already forgotten what Yucca is, why it was chosen, and its shortcomings.
It still goes back to sites with used fuel getting paid big dollars to store it onsite.  If you're making good money to store it, there's no fix-incentive anywhere except FED BUDGET to save $$$.
The NIMBY thing is a big deal.  Just lease some property over the border from SE Arizona (right over the border). Put up lots of fences.  Pay for a special highway in SE Arizona.  Pay Mexico.
